Calendar
The school calendar is an important communication tool
that parents, staff and students come to rely on for all
school-related events. Maintaining a current, up-to-date
school calendar is essential and easy with our
Customizable Calendar.
The maintenance on the calendar application is typically
handled by multiple users and, therefore, very
user-friendly. Creating categories for calendar events,
assigning events under these categories as well as editing
the events upon demand becomes a simple, efficient
process.
Staff Directory
A successful school site is a collaborative effort that
informs the community and showcases the accomplishments of
its students and faculty. Providing the community with
access to a current staff directory eliminates frustration
and improves communication.
Our Staff Directory gives site visitors the ability to
search all staff members by first name, last name,
location, subject area, grade level and/or position. The
information is readily accessible; eliminating the
cumbersome search through long lists of staff lists.
Job Postings
A successful school website can also demonstrate the
quality of the school in order to attract qualified job
applicants. Jobs is one of the most highly searched
keywords on a school site. Therefore, current job postings
and convenient online access to applications are
essential. Bringing innovative functionality to the site
is a great way to project a progressive image for the
district but it also provides your current staff with
additional tools to advertise employment.
In order to advertise openings, the Job Postings tool
provides an easy way to highlight availabilities and
include an overview of the positions you are hiring for.
Any information deemed necessary could be posted including
qualifications, certification requirements, hours, salary,
and job description.
Lunch Menus
What's for lunch? Another very popular school item that
parents and students come to rely on is the monthly Lunch
Menu.
Our Lunch Menu module allows Food Service to easily set up
breakfast or lunch menus. Parents can view or print the
menus in calendar format. Each menu upload asks for a
start and end date to ensure that the information only
displays on the site for the intended period of time.
Quick Polls
Gather feedback or capture quick statistical information
by posting a Poll on your school Web site. Our tools
incorporate an easy-to-use system that gives authors the
ability to attach one or more questions in order to engage
site visitors.
Each Poll captures the unique IP addresses and can
alternate with random page refreshes; keeping your school
site lively and inviting.
Banners
Our School Solution provides authors with the ability to
attach banners to specific pages or areas of the school
site. Banners can be linked internally, highlighting
homecoming, sporting events, or alumni reunions and
externally for advertising or fundraising opportunities.
Click results can be tracked for each banner in order to
determine the success or failure rates.
Filing Cabinet
In our experience, we've discovered that file attachments
are among the most requested material on the site. Because
this material is essential for visitors, we make it
accessible in a separate section that houses downloadable
materials.
What is classified as a file? It can truly include any
type of file that you want to make available for download
by site visitors; from registration forms, transportation
schedules, student handbooks, medical absence forms – the
content of the filing cabinet can be as limited or as
broad as needed.
The objective is to organize these materials for access by
parents, students and staff. In our experience, one
central repository for documents broken down by categories
and subcategories, under which specific documents would be
listed by name, is the best approach.
Gallery
For any school, images of students, events and happening
form an important element. We provide you with a module to
share all the pictures that you have captured over the
years. Down the memory lane …
News
School news is a key component of the website; directing
parents, staff and community members to the latest
information. The News component grants users the ability
to highlight specific news items, upcoming special events,
newsletters and publications, or any piece of information
pertinent to the community.
News items also accept links, images and files (maps,
meeting agendas, permission slips, sports schedules,
etc.). Incorporating the ability to attach additional
information to the news ensures that it is a central
resource for the community.
Search Functions
A fast, efficient keyword search is another primary
function of a database-driven system and one of the
advantages of having the entire application created
online.
The objective of the search is to provide any visitor to
the site with all pertinent information. Beyond a
comprehensive complete search, our system will allow
visitors to access all archived content items.
